Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

Shakey's Mojo Potatoes and Thin Crust Pizza

One of his favorites is Shakey's Mojo Potatoes with sour cream garlic dip at P69 (about $1.50) that he orders to take home. This time the order came with Manager's choice pizza, the thin crust version, at the newly-opened Shakey's Walter Mart North EDSA.

You know what, KFC's fries are closer to the taste of the original Mojos than today's Mojos. And it's cheaper too! I think P40 or less. Plus, I enjoy eating it with KFC's gravy better than Shakey's dip. Hehe.
